Indoor pollution levels are 2-5 times higher than outdoor air pollution levels. Gases such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and lead flow into houses and other buildings from surrounding automotive and industrial culture. Some common sources of these indoor pollutants include household cleaners, furnaces, automotive supplies, pesticides and paint. Inhaling these pollutants can have a negative effect on the body and one's health. It may cause liver, kidney, and nervous system disorders or an allergic reaction. Several strategies can be taken to reduce these hazards. Household cleaners, paints, and other products in the house should be sealed and stored properly to avoid leaking. Also, a veniliation controlled air system can provide fresh air.
